Biden promotes his devotion to Catholicism.  Really?

&NewLine;<p>In a recent speech to donors&comma; President Biden raised his self-proclaimed devotion to his Catholic faith&period;&nbsp&semi; Ironically&comma; he did it in conjunction with his pro-abortion policies&period;&nbsp&semi; He said that as a practicing Catholic&comma; he &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;is not big on abortion&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&lpar;I will pause until you stop laughing&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Of course&comma; Biden is lying through his rosary&period;&nbsp&semi; Arguably&comma; Biden is the most pro-abortion president this nation has ever had&period;&nbsp&semi; Everything he says and does is designed to promote and expand abortion&period; Although he intimates that he has religious reservations about abortion&comma; he said – in the same speech &&num;8212&semi; that &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Roe v&period; Wade got it right&period;”&nbsp&semi; He favors abortion on demand&period;&nbsp&semi; He has not embraced any limitations – even against late-term abortions or partial birth abortions that are opposed by more than 70 percent of Americans&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden is not on the sidelines – passively accepting the current situation&period;&nbsp&semi; He is using every means possible – from policies to personal statements – to promote abortion as just another women’s health issue … a right&period;&nbsp&semi; No big effing deal&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Like Biden&comma; I grew up in the Catholic Church – maintaining my devotion past my college years&period;&nbsp&semi; I was one of the few 1960s students who attended mass every Sunday&period;&nbsp&semi; In later years&comma; I found myself at odds with Catholic doctrine on a number of issues&period;&nbsp&semi; Unlike Biden&comma; I left the Church of Rome – temporarily selecting the Episcopal &lpar;Catholic-lite&rpar; version&period;&nbsp&semi; I eventually gave up on organized religion altogether&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden&comma; on the other hand&comma; takes the preposterous position that he is a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;good Catholic” who happens to favor abortion&period;&nbsp&semi; It is the level of his pro-abortion activism that creates the problem&period;&nbsp&semi; You cannot be supporting and promoting abortion and be a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;good Catholic” – any more than you could support Hitler and be a good Jew&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Abortion is a FUNDAMENTAL moral issue – not one about which you can be neutral&period;&nbsp&semi; Terminating the life of a human being – and harvesting the organs for commercial and medical purposes – is morally acceptable or morally wrong&period;&nbsp&semi; There is no grey area&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden is an abortion activist … period&period;&nbsp&semi; And that does not comport to Catholic ideology&period;&nbsp&semi; Or does it&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In terms of doctrine&comma; the Catholic Church is very clear&period;&nbsp&semi; Abortion in almost all instances – especially the most common cases of abortion-on-demand – is a violation of Catholicism – a MORTAL sin&period;&nbsp&semi; That is the kind that gets you eternal damnation in Dante’s Inferno&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>How the supreme leader of the Church handles the situation is quite another matter&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>I see Pope Francis like those progressive prosecutors who simply refuse the enforce the laws they are sworn to … enforce&period;&nbsp&semi; The Catholic Church is headed by an autocrat who simply ducks&comma; dodges and disappears on the issue of abortion&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Yes&comma; His Holiness occasionally expresses his opposition to abortion&comma; but never with much conviction – and he certainly does not use the power and influence of the papacy to oppose abortion&period;&nbsp&semi; When is the last time he excommunicated any so-called Catholics for supporting abortion&quest;&nbsp&semi; Or even banned them from Holy Communion – as a few local bishops have&period;&nbsp&semi; Not only has Francis NOT chastised Biden for his pro-abortion activism – he has had meetings with the President in which abortion was not on the list of talking points&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>According to many Catholic theologians&comma; supporting abortion is a sin of such gravity that it automatically separates &lpar;ex-communicates&rpar; a person from the communion of Catholics until the person confesses and changes their ways&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It is impossible to imagine that Biden does not know that – and that he is willfully using his proclaimed religious affiliation as a fraud on the public&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>While I am pro-life&comma; I have family and friends who support abortion&period;&nbsp&semi; None of them&comma; however&comma; are Catholics or claim to be &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;good Catholics&period;”&nbsp&semi; That would be a logical and devotional impossibility&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>And then there is the issue of Biden’s support of homosexuality and the Church&period;&nbsp&semi; He is at odds with the Catholic Church on that one&comma; too&period;&nbsp&semi; So am I&period;&nbsp&semi; It is one of the issues that caused me to cancel my membership in the Catholic Church&period;&nbsp&semi; I would be a hypocrite if I were to claim fealty to the Catholic Church&period;&nbsp&semi; So&comma; what does that make Joe&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Come on&comma; Joe&period;&nbsp&semi; You are a pro-abortion President&period;&nbsp&semi; At least stop pretending to be a good Catholic for public consumption&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
